Monad is now on @herd_eco Explorer, HAL onchain actions and DoubleClick dependency graphs — available in-app and via MCP, CLI and SDK. More visibility into how DeFi assets and protocols connect, for users, builders and AI agents.

CRYSTAL IS LIVE ON MONAD ⠀ Crystal has announced its launch, with trading, token creation, and liquidity provision available to users. The official Monad account also highlighted the launch. ⠀ At its core is a fully onchain central limit order book: order placement and settlement happen through smart contracts rather than a centralized exchange’s closed infrastructure. ⠀ Its built-in launchpad lets users create new tokens. Trading begins on a bonding curve before transitioning to a market that combines an AMM and an order book. ⠀ Other DeFi applications can also integrate Crystal’s liquidity, connecting the exchange to the broader ecosystem. ⠀ The platform also runs the Crystals incentive program. According to its documentation, 1,000,000 Crystals are distributed each week among eligible participants, based on trading, liquidity provision, and other contributions to the platform.

DIROL IS BRINGING SOCIAL TRADING TO MONAD ⠀ @DirolLabsX has opened the waitlist for Dirol Social — a new social trading app built around its trading infrastructure on Monad. ⠀ The idea is to bring everything into one place: — discover trades — follow traders — copy positions — trade memecoins — trade perpetuals ⠀ But Dirol is focusing on more than just the social layer. For execution, the team built its own engine called Grace, which compares routes and quotes in real time to find a better path for each trade and reduce unnecessary slippage. ⠀ The goal is simple: users can discover an idea, follow a trader, and execute the trade from the same interface without switching between platforms. ⠀ The waitlist is now open.

@ChogNFT IS BUILDING ITS FLAGSHIP PLATFORM AND BURNED 2% OF $CHOG The Chog team has shared what comes next after the launch of Chog Genesis. ⠀ According to the team, Genesis has already reached: — around a $400 floor — a record sale of 1.8 ETH (~$4,500) — nearly 14M $MON in trading volume ⠀ But the NFT collection is only part of the plan. Chog is now building a new platform combining multichain NFTs, gaming, competition, rewards, and community mechanics. ⠀ The goal is to make NFTs more than assets sitting in a wallet — they would become part of an experience where decisions, risk, and skill can affect the outcome. ⠀ The team is also expanding its development group and says it is open to collaborations with other NFT collections, creators, communities, and builders. ⠀ One more fresh update: Chog has burned 2% of the total $CHOG supply.

MONAD SETS A NEW DAILY TPS RECORD On September 21, Monad reached a new record of 82 transactions per second averaged across the day. ⠀ The 90-day chart shows a clear upward trend: Daily TPS was around 35–40 in late June and has been consistently above 60 in recent weeks. ⠀ Monad co-founder Keone Hon summed it up simply: “But just getting started. Built to scale!” ⠀ Important distinction: 82 TPS represents the average Daily TPS for September 21, not Monad’s maximum technical throughput.

We’re going deeper into the Monad NFT ecosystem. BlockPro just picked up two NFTs: one from @ChogNFT Genesis and one from @r3tardsNFT. From now on, we’ll be following the NFT side of Monad much more closely too. What should be next on our radar? Any must-have Monad collection?
